Did You Know?

Specific compounds influence genes: For example, the compound sulforaphane, found in high concentrations in broccoli, broccoli sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables, activates a genetic pathway that regulates over 200 genes (!) related to reduced inflammation, slower aging, and disease prevention.

This is an important heads up for heart, health, cellular, health, and more!

CoQ10 or Coenzyme Q10 is a molecule essential in creating cellular energy, acts as an effective antioxidant, and promotes overall health and wellness. It diminishes as we age, statin use, nutrient deficiencies such as vitamin C, B9, Alpha lipoic acid.

It is crucial in the production of ATP - our cellular energy (without which we would not be alive).

It powerfully protects our cells from free radical damage and promotes heart health - promotes healthy blood pressure, circulation, increases energy, and overall heart functioning. It may also help protect brain cells from oxidative damage and promotes cognitive health.

Ensuring an adequate intake of CoQ10 through our diet, we provide our bodies with the necessary fuel to power our cells while reaping overall powerful health benefits.

Here are 6 Foods High in CoQ10:

✨Salmon
✨Olive Oil
✨Nuts and Seeds
✨Organ Meats
✨Spinach
✨Broccoli
✨Oranges

Supplementation with the ubiquinol form of CoQ10 is highly therapeutic. Also, exercise indirectly increases CoQ10.

Feel Good again! 👏

Did You Know?

If you sit a lot, repeatedly doing heel raises (soleus push-ups) while sitting at a desk etc — can lower blood glucose and insulin significantly, often outperforming an equal duration of walking in head-to-head tests for post-meal glucose control.

Performing the “soleus push-up” (SPU) — a seated movement where you lift only the heels repeatedly while keeping the front of the foot on the floor — raised soleus muscle oxidative metabolism to very high levels for hours.

Sustained soleus activation (calf muscle) is one of the most potent known ways to reduce blood glucose while remaining seated.

“True happiness has a secret name, and it’s contentment. When you have the sense that your life is good and meaningful, and that your struggles are worthwhile, that’s contentment. Joy is the fruit which blossoms from it.” ~Samantha Gluck

How Long and Healthy You Live is 90% Lifestyle and Environment - Not Genetics.

Longevity is influenced by genetics, which was once thought to account for 20-30% of the variation in lifespan, but more recent studies have shown that it only accounts for 10% (Ruby et al., 2018).

Essentially, this means that lifestyle and environment account for as much as 90% of one’s longevity.

If your relatives weren’t living pro-longevity (healthy) lifestyles, you have the power to buck that trend and live substantially longer and healthier than your relatives.

“Each bite of food we eat has the potential to modulate our genetics and impact every cell of the body—don’t you want those levers to be moving in the right direction? Eating for health is one thing, but eating to beat disease is an even more intentional step toward prevention and longevity.” ~

Just an ounce of pumpkin seeds, you get 155 mg of magnesium (nearly half your daily requirement!).

Omega-6 fat in the seeds isn’t an issue in whole foods as it is in refined, industrial seed oils or processed fast foods.

Interesting:

Can brain cells really bounce back in a day? In an exciting lab-dish experiment, brain cells from elderly mice regained their youthful energy balance in just 16 hours using a combination of nicotinamide (vitamin B3) and EGCG, the main antioxidant in green tea.

It is well-known that a deficiency of B vitamins particularly B3 can lead to dementia and other health effects.

Aging brain cells in mice restored youthful energy balance (GTP levels) within 16 hours using vitamin B3 and green tea extract.

The treatment cleared toxic protein buildup and improved survival by 22% in Alzheimer’s-model neurons.

Stop Using This Sweetener 🛑

If you are trying to keep sugar intake low with sugar substitutes, a common and popular sugar substitute has been shown to impair brain cells and boost stroke risk.

Research just published shows the sugar substitute Erythritol may pose a risk to cardiovascular health, especially increasing the risk of stroke

The findings suggest erythritol can damage cells in the blood-brain barrier and affect brain blood vessels in ways that could elevate stroke risk.

It’s important to note that this was a laboratory study conducted on cells, and larger studies in humans are needed to confirm these findings although a prior study found a link between higher levels of erythritol and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke over a three-year period, particularly in people with pre-existing cardiovascular risk factors.
